Acknowledgement of extraterrestrial life was secretly made in 1958, after an unknown spacecraft crash-landed in Arizona, United States. Its existence was kept secret by the US government up until the beginning of the war, however speculations were made that the US might possess such information since 2014. The object, which proved to be an aglomeration of multiple objects, reached Mars soon after. Similarly to the Rhea incident, contact was soon lost with the base and the there-stationed spacecraft.
